Bread Machine Pita breads

1cup, plus 2 Tablespoons warm water
3 cups of flour….(I use all purpose)
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 ½ tsp sugar
1 ¼ tsp yeast





Put water and oil in bread machine; add the flour, salt, sugar and yeast .Select the dough setting/cycle on the bread machine

Turn the kneaded dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 8 pieces. Form each piece into a ball, tucking edges under. Cover and let dough rest about 10 minutes. With a rolling pin roll each piece from the center to the edge, into a 6- to 7-inch circle. Cover dough with a towel and let rise for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Place 2-3 pitas on a rack, (I use the grill/broiler top) and place directly on oven rack. Bake for 4-5 minutes until puffed and golden.
Remove from oven and immediately cover with a damp kitchen towel until soft.

Stovies
 

Stovies to me is a hearty Scottish filling meal, which is also a comfort food.
This is NOT the prettiest dish, but very tasty

5/6 potatoes sliced
Left over roast beef, chopped up
1 onion - diced
1 - 2 cup left over gravy/1 - 2 cup of beef stock…can you more, depend on how moist you want the dish
1 table spoon of beef dripping/ or oil
Salt and pepper

Par boil the potatoes
Fry the onions in the dripping/oil until they are soft, add the chopped up beef.
Add the par boiled slice potatoes and add gravy/beef stock.
Leave to simmer for around 30-40 minutes…until cooked all through and liquid has be absorbed
Give a really good mix and serve.

I use leftover gravy as well as stock
